The wishes of father who lost his firstborn son to an abortion
lyrics
It's been awhile since someone's said your name,
I understand you weren't to blame.
& even though it took awhile for him to say,
I wish something different could've happened that day.
Something I wish I could've known, was the feeling of having you before you were gone.
But it takes time it takes love it takes care.
& I wish all the time I could've been there.
Now you're up into the sky, you never had your chance to fly,
I wish I had just one day, to see what you'd be like,
I wish I could give you back that life that was taken from you.
Can't seem to try and understand, what justified it all I still can't stand.
The thought of you being older now,
I wish it couldn't have been a choice somehow.
& they said it wouldn't hurt,
that loosing someone you never knew was easy to desert.
But I don't know how many times I've tried,
to get the thought of you out of my mind.
Now you're up into the sky,
Up into my frights,
Seems you weren't so small,
I wish I could've let you stand tall for yourself.
Almost thirty years today,
I wish fate could've let you stay.
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
